Saw this on the Talking Pictures channel - UK, old films and TV shows. They show a lot of good stuff from yesteryear, but sadly included in that is quite a bit of dross - though I suppose some viewers will see that and mark it up for nostalgia value?
This one may count for nostalgia, but I'd say neuralgia is a more logical reaction.
As other reviews have said, lots of spoof Bond films came out in the 60s and 70s, mostly with a comic element, mostly I suppose quite good fun if seen after you'd been to the pub. Don't include in that grouping the dark and brooding films like Funeral in Berlin, Spy who came in from the cold, etc, no parody elements there!
This one had an American agent hero (from a US medical series), comic villain Peter Vaughan, and lots of Btitish stars like Michael Bated (Last of the Summer Wine), Diana Dors, Patrick Cargill, Dave Prowse (became Darth Vader), and Judy Geeson to please any teenage guys watching, fluttering her eyelashes, smile, legs, and where possible knickers.
The plot involved some secret papers, and an agent who was (such luck) the double of a scientist, used to try and steal them. I say 'plot', the story could have been dreamed up in a pub one night, after a couple of dodgy pints, with a lot of toing and froing around quite pretty Portuguese scenes, augmented by a few flower-power extras and Peter Vaughan wanting world domination (this before he was a powerful support in classic comedy sit-com Porridge).
I marked the film 3 out of 10 -- it was harmless enough, but on balance you needn't waste time with it.
